Writing Contest For Kids About Their Pets

Do you have the best pet? Is there an animal character from a book that you love? The Reading Planet is hosting a kids writing contest from February 14 – March 31, 2005. If you’re between the ages 5-15, you can write a short story or poem about an animal for the chance to win great prizes!

Reading Planet is a Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) project and growing up I always liked reading and I always like the RIF commercials. They’re up there with School House Rock.

From the entries I see on the site, I know we got some junior Shakespeares in the house so think really deep about why your pet is so important and share it with the world. If you can, send us a copy of your submission, and the URL of your pet, and if it’s okay with Reading Planet we’ll repost them on the site!
